These engines supply excellent power and a huge torque curve. Multiport fuel injection makes her run as smooth as any modern vehicle. Backed by a built 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission with Hughes Performance converter which makes it fun to drive around town or on the highway. Suspension was fully upgraded to tubular control arms and polyurethane bushings throughout.

Oversized sway bars add to its excellent drivability. Top of the line Baer Disc brakes with slotted rotors on all 4 corners. Power steering and power brakes. Currie 9" rear end with a 3.73 gear ratio and posi traction. Rolls on custom made Budnik 19" and 20" rims with 2 tone satin finish. Complete custom leather interior by Eddie Salcido.
